I'm Ritesh Kanchi, a senior at the University of Washington studying Computer Science with a focus on Human-Computer Interaction. My research focuses on designing and developing intelligent user interfaces for niche communities in accessibility and education.

Some questions I think about include:

• How can we preserve designer agency with the rise of Generative AI tooling?
• How can we create learning environments that are equitable, engaging, and empowering for students?
• How can we develop intelligent user interfaces to adapt to a user's unqiue accessibility needs?

Currently, I am: building accessible data structure representations for inclusive CS education, designing systems to support inclusive experiences in mixed-ability families, and noodling on new ways to teach design.

In my (rare) free time, you'll find me binging full TV shows, watching movies, and trying not to burn down my apartment. You'll occasionally find me at a concert, but I'm much more of a "blaring music and annoying the neighbors"-type.
